Happy Birthday balloons

I am seeing spotlight stamping everywhere and I want to give it a try.  What I have seen most is a background stamped with a bold sentiment then some shapes are used to do the spotlight.  I searched everywhere in my stash but couldn't seem to find such a good stamp for spotlight stamping.

Determined to give it a try, I made my own "background" by stamping the sentiment repeatedly.  Here's what I have made:

And yes, I stamped the sentiment "Happy Birthday" 20 times - 5 times on each cardstock.  Good thing is that clear stamp allows easy alignment so it actually didn't take that long.  Of course, had I done a better job at planning where the balloons would go, I wouldn't have to stamp so many times on the colored cardstock.

A happy dance for understanding the reason for poor quality pictures for the past few days.  Ever since I took pictures of my newborn nephew, I forgot to change the settings.  Oops.  I blame the cold I caught on Easter, which left my brain working in a slow motion.

My card is entering the following challenges:
